OK - yes, it is somewhat obscure I guess. But one of those APT extended features dependent on a krpano license is the ability to incorporate video, which requires the videoplayer.swf plug-in.

Anyway, moving on (as politicians are so fond of saying here in the UK)...

As I said the trial version of Panotour Pro V1.5 beta 1, which is built on the same codebase as APT V1.1 Beta 11, does offer that ability to select a FLV video file (and some additional video file types) as the Link/Object of a point hotspot so I suggest you continue your trial with that? How's that sound to you?

Are you quite certain you have chosen the Pro version of Panotour and not the standard version (which does not support the use of video nor audio)?

See screenshot - this is the trial version of Panotour Pro V1.5 beta 1 on Windows XP/32 and as you can see I have been able to select an FLV file as the Link/Object for a point hotspot. It does not have the same restrictions as the trial version of APT V1.1 beta 11.

I'm fairly happy with APG now that I'm on 64 bit. Trying it previously in 32 bit it was very crash prone and buggy.

Which version of APG are you trialing, the current version V2.0.9 or V2.5 beta 1?

If you are seeking help or reporting bugs it really is essential to specify the operating system version and the version of the Kolor software product you are using because there are many combinations and they do not all behave in exactly the same way.

I'd term that being 'precise' rather than being 'pedantic', but I don't mind being labelled a pedant.

Had you told us right at the outset that you were using a trial version of APT we could have side-stepped several days worth of wasted communication, but that's my fault because I didn't ask you back then to specify the OS and whether you were using a registered version of the APG/APT software.

...........

Anyway, let's get back to where we were...now to be pedantic...

There are two versions of Panotour Pro - one for 32 boit Windows and the other for 64 bit Windows:

Although, as noted, I don't like buying software without being able to try out the full functionality, I'll go get a license for APG + KRPano. Will play with that. If it works, great. Will re-download PT Pro (uninstalled it) and play with that as well.

OK - as you know the current release of APG comes with APT 1.0.9. So it's best to install APT V1.1 beta 11 'over' that.

You will be eligible for a free upgrade to Autopano Giga V2.5 when it is released, currently it is just out as a beta 1 and still has quite a few bugs.
